The program aims to bolster STEM education among youth, particularly those from underrepresented backgrounds, through community-based out-of-school activities as part of a broader STEMCEL strategy. It offers the iRockSTEM, equipped with cutting-edge technology
By creating a relationship based on trust and open communication, mentors help kids foster a sense of belonging, build self-confidence and learn new skills and passions. Talking and spending time with engaged adults provides children with positive experiences during periods of heightened brain development.
With entrepreneurs and small businesses driving our economy, it is crucial that we prepare our youth with the 21st Century Skills necessary to support the workforce needs of business and prepare future entrepreneurial leaders across all sectors of our economy.
